session when the bomb went off outside parliament and the building shook and the parliament chamber filled with smoke and they said it was just an electrical problem but m.p.s were fleeing the building and the taliban quickly claiming responsibility for that attack. >> jennifer the attack may be over but a lot of questions left over about how the attackers got this far. >> reporter: that's right, not least of all the parliament building is one of the most protected buildings in kabul and you have to pass a number of check points in the city just to get to that area and today, today was a big day for parliament and the government was expected to introduce to parliament nominee for defense minister as well as the second vice president expected to be in parliament this morning and the heavily attended session of parliament this morning because of that announcement and there will be a lot of investigation as how seven attackers with

suicide vests got this far in kabul. >> thank you jennifer glasse in kabul. al jazeera journalist a third day in custody after being detained at berlin airport saturday and they are reviewing detention papers after they asked to expedite him and 20,000 people signed the petition demanding his immediate release and paul has more. >> reporter: detained on saturday at berlin's airport as he was about to board a flight in qatar and he was handed over to police in berlin and he issued a video message criticizing the police actions. >> translator: unfortunately the german authorities are handling this case in a very suspicious manner and raises questions on involvement and how they are with the military in egypt. >> reporter: he was sentenced

to 15 years in prison by cairo criminal court last year for torturing a lawyer but when they asked for a red notice and international arrest warrant they are refused and it is like he took a district root. >> all he was doing was his job. he has two leading programs on al jazeera. >> reporter: they said the crack down on journalists by egyptian authorities is well known, the network is the most watched has taken the brunt of this and-thers should not be tools of media oppression and respect media and he is one of the most respected journalists and must be released immediately. this is becoming an international diplomatic incident and holds british egypt

citizenship and headache explaining why their police executed an arrest warrant that interpoll recently rejected. an online petition has been signed by thousands of people and have come out in his support and the green party tweeted german government must explain arrest in berlin highly questionable questionable. the international federation of journalist and human rights and dozens of other rights organizations have also condemned his arrest and gathered in berlin to show their solidarity but there will be no further progress possible until the case goes before a judge later on monday. paul brennan is live with us from berlin and paul a german judge has some important decisions to make today.

take us through the day's process and proceedings. yeah it's quite complicated and i'm afraid that hopes of a swift conclusion to this case appear to be receding such as the complexity of it. the attorney general who is effectively an investigating judge in this case is currently reviewing the documents that were compiled over the weekend since he was arrested at the airport on saturday lunchtime. in parallel to that his defense lawyers are consulting where extradition specialists to get their case in order and the two sides will come together sometime well today hopefully by lunchtime today. that said although the attorney general this investigation judge has a great degree of leeway and independence and can if he chooses throw out the case if he feels it's entirely unwarranted it's entirely possible he might

need collar takes and translation issues perhaps and it's almost inevitable they will become involved and i'm afraid the people i have been speaking to this morning the idea that he may walk free this afternoon appears to be unrealistic and a lot more involved than that. >> you mentioned extradition there, paul and we know that egyptian authorities are talking about how they have already started the extradition process, what are german authorities saying about that? >> well first of all there is some confusion as to where this arrest warrant has originated and clearly it's from egypt but did it come via interpoll, it would appear not at this stage and interpoll is distancing themselves from it and originally turned it down for a

red notice to be issued last october. we are going to speak in a couple hours to a spokesperson in berlin around lunchtime your time but we do not have clarification on that yet. the other thing to bear in mind though is even if the paperwork is in order the german foreign ministry has the power to overrule it and extradition if there is the possibility that he might be mistreated if he was returned to egypt. so even if the paperwork is in order politics might overtake this whole process and that might be a reason why he might be released. that said as i said in the first answer i'm afraid the prospect of this all coming to a swift conclusion does appear to be fading. >> thanks so much paul brennan there. greek prime minister made a last-minute offer to international creditors, eu heading to brussels for emergency talked aims at securing a debt details and if

there are also people here and they are suffering and don't want the same social classes to continue to lift the weight. >> reporter: century old laws have given state workers tenure for life and the state shed 300,000 jobs since the crisis began and most were fixed term workers whose contract expired and took early retirement deals. this is a labor force capable of swinging election and at a billion a month it's most expensive and claiming a fifth of the budgement and had salaries and been tits clipped already and do not want to lose their tenure and the ruling left disagree and says the economy as fragile as it is laying them off now would cause recession. the private sector which has taken the brunt of unemployment still at 25%. last thursday private sector workers took to the street to

express anger they feel is imposed on them for the sake of maintaining the state and red lines it has vowed to defend and as the government heads for a show down with creditors its popularity seems to vindicate it and two thirds of greeks do not want them to back down and 47% would reelect, more than five months ago but the desire to remain in the euro zone would use austerity may be incompatible incompatible. >> professor in london and on greek debt and says a no deal with greece go far beyond europe. >> going to brussels but comes back from st. petersburg when he signed the deal with russians

for a new gas pipeline which is jointly with turkey. i mean who wants to see greece outside of the eu and possibly outside of the eu and then that will be a major distraction for nato and security zone as a whole in which you have grease receives hundreds of refugees from syrian center every single day so this capitalization that is missed is very possible if greece steps out of the european monetary union that would be the first step to a big catastrophe for eu and nato so the geo is a message nobody mentions that. at al jazeera we look at why russia investors are still pouring money in uk dispute european sanctions and the heat wave takes a deadly toll in pakistan. ♪

many people signed for his immediate release. and a last-minute effort to the international creditors and heading to brussels for emergency talks aimed at securing a debt deal and thousands are urging the government not to back down under pressure. the eu has extended its sanctions against russia over its military actions in crimea and ukraine and will continue to january next year and has not stopped investment in the country and how effective are the sanctions and lawrence lee takes a look from that from london. >> reporter: list of people sanctions in the eu and some are ministers accused of involvement in ukraine and crimea and east of the country. the aim is to freeze assets in london and how it would effect for example the education minister of the donetsk republic

is hard to see. people like this corporate lawyer who had a long look at the way sanctions have been enforced here it was a warning shot to russian advance in ukraine. >> i think the point that president obama said it several times is to change the callus and to make the rationale within russia consider the economic cost will be outweighed by whatever benefits could be seen by either destabilizing ukraine and gaining crimea and potentially gaining to new provinces. >> reporter: still this year is set to see record amounts of money in london and it appears many extremely wealthy well connected russians see little risk of seeing their efforts frozen through the sanctions program and the london barking system is successful for russians who want to move their money in tax heavens and many are linked to uk and the biggest

russian companies continue to be listed on the london stock market without any apparent threat. the sort of thing that would really hurt moscow. it was clear from the points when the government started constructing its sanctions program that really big russian money was going to be effected and that seems partly to have been designed to protect british interest in russia against retaliation and one assumes in the interest of the financial services industry here as well. the only big question is whether the right people the most important people have actually been targeted by these sanctions. the u.s. has taken a tough line for people involvement in the murder and the employer takes the view that eu line on sanctions has proved ineffective. >> starts with the herding cat problem with too many different voices and add on to that the corruption problem and i should say the corruption problem being

that there are certain people in europe both in the eu parliament and different governments that are on the payroll of russia. >> in resent maths france and germany suggested that it may worsen relations with russia and leaving them as a hawk and given the way that the money rushes through the city of london the eu program doesn't look particularly threatening. lawrence lee, al jazeera, london. more than 120 people have died in an intense heat wave in pakistan and most of the casualties have been in the southern port city of karachi where it has sored 45 degrees celcius and the extreme heat is likely to continue for a few more days and we have more from islamabad. >> reporter: although high temperature at this time of the year is nothing unusual, before

the monsoon hits this particular region the heat wave that is sweeping through the province of sin has broken a ten-year record. that of course has led to many deaths due to heat stroke putting a strain and the resources of the hospitals as well as the morings that have been are receiving dozens of bodies on a daily basis and the monsoon is likely to enter the country in a few days and it would reduce the problems of karachi and it's also exacerbated by the fact the city is also suffering major power outages and that of course is one of the causes for the heat stroke and the number of cases that are reported from that southern port city. two more people infected with the middle east respiratory syndrome died in south korea,

that takes the mers death toll there to 27. the health ministry says 172 people have been affected with the virus. thousands of people in nepal are at risk of continuous landslides after the devastating earthquake in april weakened mountain sides and villages are being asked to move and without any concrete relocation plans people are literally living on the edge and we visited one village in the district. >> reporter: driving here is not easy at the best of times. along the way small land slides and flattened villages look like wounds on the mountain side. this is a little market where the dirt road ends and villages further up can only be reached by foot and the furthest takes five days to reach and people are receiving aid and this is

two months after the quake. since the quake locals here are very nervous. on april 25th as villagers scrambled out of their houses the land was splitting below their feet. >> translator: my house just crumbled then the land started splitting, i was afraid i was going to be buried here. >> reporter: along the village a deep crevase is here and as you can see the mountain side has come crumbling down here and this section where i'm standing it used to be a level land and this too has come down and the government has instructed the villagers that this village and the villages around are way too dangerous to live in now 43 villages have to be permanently relocated according to surveyors and at least 17 villages are from here. the government's geeteam has not

completed the report and they have set up temporary camps and they have no time to mourn her four-year-old daughter and her village is unlivable and land slides have blocked the trail and made a treacherous journey who too lost a daughter. everyone has left our village, the ones who are left have gone further up the mountain where there are trees. i don't know where to go. we thought about building here but the landslides are continuous. besides the aftershocks the locals say falling rocks wake them up at night. residents have the memory of 97 people being swept away when a landslide blocked the river and took part of their village three decades ago and landslides and

without work. young people here fall into drug addiction and so they rob people's houses. >> reporter: but one company is turning the failure of the government's plan into an opportunity. and he remodels for a profit and investigating in the community giving paint for murals and helping to cleanup public spaces and supporting the police youth program and says the estates is possible and profitable. >> translator: residence youing the community is going to mean that more people will want to live here and that will mean higher house prices and better social capital and so that is just good business. >> reporter: the model seems to be working and in developments they work crime is down and house sales are up. there is a notable lack of similar government programs elsewhere and without them the mass exodus from the middle of no where continues.

revised down to 700,000. >> what is happening with the lower yield or a fed government of 330.6 u.n. million and that can build roads and increase the profit or increase the return for the cocoa farmer i mean that can also help in terms of bringing some social interventions for the people. >> reporter: ghanna's economy is already in difficulty. the government has a bailout close to $1 billion from the international monetary fund and cocoa is a main stay of the company and around before gold and a resent discovery and it's the world's second largest producer. ghanna and cocoa derives naturally and that is what makes it premium quality and this is used in luxury chocolate sold all over the world.
